Killzone: Liberation

Killzone: Liberation Review - Rated 6 out of 10

Strengths: Good graphics. Top-down perspective works well.

Weakness: Aiming is difficult making the game itself very difficult.

I picked this game up last fall because the PSP hadn't seen many interesting games for a while. The commercials for the game peaked my interest so I decided to give it a try. . The intro cut-scene gets you right into the game and for the most part it's fun to play. Unfortunately, a tough targeting system makes the game very difficult at times. If this was more of a stealth game it wouldn't be as...

Fun game for the PSP that keeps you entertained.

Strengths: Overhead Shooter with good graphics.

Weakness: Controls can be a bit awkward.

I have a pretty short attention span and this game keep me interested longer than most. I liked KillZone for the PS2 so I figured this would be worth a chance on the PSP. The overhead shooter is a nice change and works well for the PSP. The game provides enough challenges and the story is decent enough to be entertaining. Overall the game is not as good as the original KillZone for the PS2 but is...

Killzone: Liberation

Strengths: Great shooter with amazing graphics.

Weakness: Weak AI

Killzone: Liberation is a great third person shooter for the PSP. It has a variety of interesting missions that takes both action and strategy to achieve the goals. Controls are a little weak as the aiming takes a lot of efforts to get it right. You can earn points for completing missions and use them for upgrades and such, which could be helpful in some of the later missions. Overall, Killzone:...

A Must Have Action Game for PSP

Strengths: Excellent Graphics, Easy to pick up and play, Quick and easy multiplayer, Extra downloadable content

Weakness: AI can be weak, Aiming mechanics may err

If you had a bad experience with Killzone on the PS2, forget that. Killzone: Liberation is a top-down 3rd person shooter that is a combination of action and strategy, with some of the best graphics seen on PSP. Your character can do many things at once such as take cover, throw a grenade, and open a ammo chest at the same time. Action is fluid and isn't all mindless since you can't just run and...

Reasonably good 3rd person shooter

Strengths: Fun extras, unlockable boosts

Weakness: Can be extremely frustrating

This game is just 'ok'. It has a lot of promise, but playing this on regular difficulty was surprisingly difficult. I don't mind a challenge, but when it takes me several hours and dozens of tries to even get close to taking out a boss, there is something wrong. Sometimes, it's which weapon you choose that makes all the difference; other times, you can try every weapon and just find it amazingly...

Killzone: Liberation

Strengths: arcade style gameplay, graphics, fairly deep/varied missions

Weakness: aiming mechanic

A good solid title action packed title, somewhat similar to today’s war based titles. Your character engages in various missions to defeat the Helghast enemies. You’ll be driving tanks, assaulting buildings, escorting diplomats and such. Lots of different missions to keep the game from getting stale. A nice feature is that for every mission you complete, you’ll get points where you can...

Killzone Liberation

Strengths: the best 3rd person shooting for PSP so far (Dec. 2007)

Weakness: well... control issue coming from the lack of the second analog button

Before talking about PSP games, first of all, we have to understand that it is not PS3 nor Xbox360. It means that it is limited in several gameplay areas. If we accept this situation, however, we can understand that this game is the best PSP game so far. Its graphics, storyline, and controls are very good compared to other PSP games. Of course there are so many better games for PS3 or Xbox360....

This ain't your PS2's Killzone.

Strengths: Loks great. Great change to isometric view. Good multi.

Weakness: Few

Liberation makes a great third person shooter on the PSP. Not only does it look as good as it's PS2 precursor, it had a fantastic Multiplayer/Co-op more to go along with a satisfying single player campaign. The move from FPS to third person fits perfectly on the portable screen. Highly recommended.

Fun game

Strengths: third person, strong audio/sound effects

Weakness: no real online play

As an occasional gamer, this is a fun game to pick up once in a while to play. I like the third person interface as I'm not a fan of first person games these days. I enjoy a challenge, and since I'm not a regular or expert gamer, it is a tough game and a definite challenge for me. I am still trying to get the hang of a PSP to begin with (PSP newbie), so this game will let me dive right in and...
